politics
Iris Blaul joined the Hessian Greens in 1980 and was one of the first party members. Blaul had been a member of the Hessian state parliament since December 1, 1982, where she became chairwoman of her parliamentary group. She was also re-elected in the early state parliament election in 1983 and was a member of the state parliament from September 25, 1983. She ran for election in the constituency of Frankfurt am Main II , but entered parliament via the state list. Due to the principle of rotation , however, she had to resign on April 10, 1985 and make room for her fellow party member Bernd Messinger . After this break, in 1987, when she ran for election in the constituency of Frankfurt am Main II, as she did in 1991 and 1995, she again entered the state parliament via the state list and now became deputy parliamentary group leader. In the discussion about the diet increase in the Hessian state parliament in 1988 , she was the driving force behind the rejection of the increase by the Greens. She gave up her mandate, which was defended in 1991 (as the female top candidate of the Greens) on April 8, 1991 and became the Hessian Minister of State for Youth, Family and Health in the Eichel I cabinet . Your candidacy was not without controversy. Inside the party, she was accused of a previous car accident after an alcoholic Christmas party. The green- affiliated TAZ rated this as an "internal party hate campaign". After the state elections in 1995 on April 5, 1995, he was appointed Minister of State for Environment and Energy. She held both positions until she resigned on September 19, 1995. Her name is linked to the struggle for the ozone ordinance, the planned shutdown of the Biblis A nuclear power plant and the proposal to sell hashish in pharmacies.
resignation
The reason for the resignation were serious allegations by the Hessian State Audit Office and the dismissal of State Secretary Johannes Schädler, who had been appointed only six months earlier . Schadler turned against the "internal power structure" built up by Blaul in the ministry. In particular, the installation was criticized by Blaul's partner, department head Wenzel Mayer , who, according to Schädler, plays a central “dual role that is not provided for in the position plan”. Thereupon Blaul accused Schadler of not being able to meet the expectations placed on him. Since Schädler did not want to resign voluntarily and the "necessary correction" of her personnel decision would burden the Hessian state budget, she assumed political responsibility for this situation with her resignation on September 19, 1995. At the beginning of October, Wenzel Mayer was transferred from the position of Head of the Central Department to Head of the Immission Control Department. The Hessian Landtag set up a committee of inquiry to clarify the background. As usual, the opposition and government factions came to different assessments in the final report. While the CDU and FDP spoke of “total political failure”, the government factions saw no major misconduct.
Iris Blaul subsequently resigned from the party in 1998.
